LRP X11 Bolts Won't Locate

[nckmat]

I am on my third LRP X11 with this problem and I am wondering if anybody has ever tried to repair themselves, this is a 2nd hand motor so it isn't covered by warranty like the other two.

The problem is that the long bolts that hold the front plate on won't locate into their threads and the only way that you seem to be able to access the plate (I am assuming it is some sort of plate) that they screw into is to remove the sensor board.

Has anybody out there attempted removing the sensor board and what am I likely to find if I am attempt it? Alternatively has anybody found a fix for these bolts coming loose, which I am lead to believe is a fairly common fault?

Any assistance would be welcomed.

Never had that problem, but I can't see why threadlock wouldn't solve the problem.

The threads on the X11's are really crap. Here is a thread with a fix. My mate is still running the motor and the fix really worked well!

Thanks for that I will give that a try as a last ditch solution because what I want to try is to get access to where the bolts locate behind the sensor board and get them lined up properly and put some Loctite in there, but in order to do that I really need to know what I am going to find if I de-solder the sensor board from the stack. Is it a simple enough job to remove the sensor board?

Anybody tried this before?
